Set in the historic city of Rochester beside the River Medway, the cathedral has endured Viking raids, fires, and centuries of change.Event Schedule12.30pm - 1.00pm – arrival and wonder through the cathedral1pm - 1.30pm - Workshop with guest artists2pm - 3pm - live soundWhat to BringThis will be a seated or standing experience only.
